Hi guys, my Switch is in 5.1.0 and has SX OS 1.2 with AutoRCM enabled. I've been using SX for a long time and always worked but today I was selecting a game on the SX menu when the Switch gave me an error message saying to power it off.
I did it and when i tried connecting it to my PC via the cable, the PC gives me a "USB device not recognized" notification everytime i connect the cable.
Also, TegraRCMGUI doesn't detect it.
The driver is installed on the PC, because i always used this PC for injecting the payload.
I don't know what to do... if anyone can help.. Much appreciated.

If you have a compatible phone try nxloader app.
I'll have to buy a OTG cable tomorrow to try then. Thanks

Already tried, gives me the same error!
 
Delete driver reinstall it reboot then try to send payload if after that it won't send the payload it mite be a faulty USB cable or a corrupted USB driver if you use it with another USB device and get the same error
 
Can you try using your phone or another PC? sometimes windows amnesia and not recognize the device for some reason.
Can you remember what was the error message?
That game you select, did you try it before and it was working?
 
Try to press power button on your switch for 30 seconds while it's connected to pc (if it will not help try disconnected). Worth a try.

This should do the trick but definitely try both ways because when it happened to me, I tried it while my switch wasn't plugged into anything lol
 
Check your cable and clean out all 4 contact areas with something like a toothbrush -- PC USB Port, Both cable ends (inside where the pins are), and the port on the bottom of the Switch. I also recommend the holding of power for 30seconds to turn it completely off and turning it on manually.


Usually not recognized is not driver related but hardware or cable problems.
 
Check for lint/debris in the Switch's USB C port. Ports can collect crap and interfere with charging and/or data transfer.
Didn't need. Bought an OTG adapter and it showed the SX boot screen, but now the switch keeps getting blocked on a black screen with a charging symbol on the corner.
If i try to remove the cable and connect it to the AC adapter or a power bank, i have to inject it again. The OTG connection can charge the Switch's battery? I think that the console doesn't charge when it's powered off/ before injecting the payload.

Sounds like it stayed in RCM too long and died. Connect it to the official charger for 10 mins or try connecting it to the wall charger as soon as you see the SX splash screen.
